First of all - My next gig will be on the 26th of April at the Northcote Social Club with Chance Waters and Mind Over Matter.

Tickets through me are only $12, so please email me on kryptic@kryptic.com.au if you want a cheaper pre-sale ticket!!

I know I've been pretty absent lately, both online and in person. This will often give the impression I'm a recluse or I'm not doing anything anymore. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I've just been busy. Damn busy. I always new that doing things by yourself would be a lot of work, and I new it would take more time and money than my best estimates, but my best estimates were not even close.

I took a break from playing shows purely to be able to try and finish off my album. How ever, the only difference now a few months later is that I passed on some great shows and still have no finished album. That being said, that doesn't mean I haven't been doing anything!

My last post on here, I regretted posting, but then I realised that if that's how I felt then that's how I felt. It's all real and nothing should be considered a sign of weakness; It's all raw, it's all real.

A fortnight ago I threw my hat back into the live music ring playing at IDGAFF for Aural Pleasure hosted by Skandel and Rorshank. I love performing and I always have. Weather I'm on the mic, the drums or the keys, it's the highlight (or should be) of any musician. I think that's why I was loosing some motivation, I just hadn't been up there in a while.

The night was pretty damn fun, got to see some underground guys that I've never had a chance to go and see, broaden my connections, and gave it a chance to showcase my skills to the side of the Melbourne hip hop scene that knows me as:

"That guy who stole 'Cryptic's' name".

(Little do they know I've been playing gigs under the name Kryptic since 2006, but that's beside the point, and another argument entirely).
